EPSRC have this week re-launched their grant funding scheme targeted specifically at Early Career Researchers.

The New Investigator Award scheme (which replaces the First Grant scheme) includes a number of changes from the previous scheme of which researchers who are considering applying should be aware.

The changes also mean that some researchers who may have previously been ineligible to apply for the First Grant scheme may now be eligible to apply for the New Investigator Award.

Scheme Overview

The New Investigator Award scheme is designed to support individuals who have recently acquired their first academic lectureship position, have not previously led an academic research group or been the recipient of a significant grant. There are no closing dates and the scheme can only be applied to once. Applications are reviewed only alongside other New Investigator Award applications.read more

Early Career Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for those who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers, but who have a proven record of research. The expectation is that Fellows should undertake a significant piece of publishable work during their tenure, and that the Fellowships should lead to a more permanent academic position. Applications are welcomed in any discipline.

The Trust will contribute 50% of each Fellow’s total salary costs up to a maximum of Â£23,000 per annum and the balance is to be paid by the host institution. Fellows may request annual research expenses of up to Â£6,000 to further his or her research activities.

Length

3 years

Eligibility

Applicants must have a track record of research, but should not have held an established academic appointment.

To enable a recently qualified post-doctoral scientist ordinarily resident overseas to work in a UK laboratory for up to one year while other sources of longer term support are being obtained. The application will be assessed on the candidateâ€™s qualifications and suitability, and the supervisorâ€™s potential to secure long term grant support.
